It's easier to get more talented players into the league, which is why this comparison is ridiculous. I guess Derek Dooley, who just got fired, is a better coach than Doug Marrone, who just got a NFL job, because Dooley put more guys into the league the last three years.

Wow they already have 19 commitments for 2014. Seems as if they should be going for more talent than they have though.

While I tend to agree, 13 of the 19 are 3* on Scout. We aren't FSU. AND, we need a solid base as well. Amato knocked it out of the park with some 4 and 5 star players, but never built a foundation of really solid players. Doeren put out an insane amount of offers this year, too. I suppose he might have thought he was still back at NIU.

I am more concerned with positions than with the amount of kids committed. I question taking a punter this year with a scholarship. I question the Trowell commitment with so many other WR options out there. I question the lack of DL and OL commitments.

How many are you taking this year? It just seems stupid to have 20 commitments before July 1 unless it is the age old Texas way of doing it.

25 I would assume. It's strange to me as well, but I'm used to Tom O'Brien's way of recruiting. Which is to say, it's only done two months out of the year and if everyone is gone we'll get 10 unknown 1* players that will never amount to anything.

Bad news for Irish fans, they just picked up commitments from Tyler Newsome (a few days ago) and Jonathan Bonner. Kelly always has his 2-3 takes every class that makes people think he is on crack and none of em have even come close to working out thusfar. Doubt this year will be different
